PHILADELPHIA, July 3 : France midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has been ruled out of Saturday's World Cup last-16 clash against Paraguay with a thigh injury, French daily L'Equipe reported on Friday.
The 26-year-old started three of France's four matches at the tournament and is expected to be replaced by Manu Kone.
France advanced to the knockout stage after topping Group I with a perfect record, winning all three matches before cruising to a 3-0 victory over Sweden in the round of 32.
They face Paraguay in Philadelphia.
The French Football Federation was not immediately available to respond to a Reuters request for comment.
